His income included his Senate salary of $161,708, a Navy pension of $58,358 and Social Security income of $23,157.

-This guy does not need the social security money. Does he?

What was his wife''s role in securing the $5,000,000 (5 million $) loan John McCane needed at when his campaign almost ran bankrupt? (remember around January-February 08/ not sure of dates though).

Will he owe her business anything if elected president?

Elitist McBush should post Cindy''''s taxes -- She''''s worth over $100 Million

doesn''''t matter - they''''ve always filed separate taxes -her information is private and should be accounted for as such - she''''s not running for office, therefore it''''s nobody''''s business except theirs

-You seriously think it''s nobody''s business? Wow! A possible First Lady needs to show the color of her ''Panties'' if people feels she needs to.

To the rest of you posters out there. Sorry I went off but I lost my temper. (McCain isn''t the only one who has one) It is not my intention to offend any of you and I''m sure I have but sometimes something just has to be said. I try to keep my posts civil and I try to elecit rational discussion but I am human and sometimes my temper gets the upper hand. Again I apologize to any of you that I might have offended.

james12341...Oh you bet there is. Why do you get on here and act like you are the only one who is allowed to have an opinion. It is because of people like you that I won''t vote for a republican. You come on here and act like you know everything there is to know and your opinions are the only ones that anyone should consider. I read your post and I tolerate your rantings and I have never come back and got in your face. I''m tired of holding back my feelings and letting you get away with your cr*p. I don''t give a dam about your politics. Vote for who you want to vote for but it''s about time someone stood up to you and told you to your face what a bully you are. You can insult me all you want to but it won''t change the fact that you are an insufferable bore. You don''t give a ***** about the country, all you care about is your precious party. You are sarcastic, snide and snotty and anyone who listens to you needs a reality check. So, there you have it. I will not respond to you ever again. You really aren''t worth the trouble.

This is McSame''s best attempt at proving he''s not an elitest? Let''s ask his $100 million dollar wife. The same wife that ''lifts'' cook book recipe''s that are not hers -and then claims them as her own. That''s a simple example of her growing up with everything handed to her.

I have wondered just exactly why McCain is touted as a war "hero". Yes, I give him credit for his service and I know it was a terrible ordeal that he went through as a POW. However, there were many others who suffered and are not looked upon as great "heros". After all, he didn''t storm an enemy machine gun nest and save his buddies. He didn''t capture a group of enemy soldiers by himself. He flew an airplane and dropped bombs. The defination of a hero is that of a soldier in Iraq who threw himself on a live grenade to save his fellow soldiers. Now that is a hero.

The people who died in the World Trade towers were never found. Our heads were cut off and they were never found.
We died, by them slicing our heads off, by the terrorist condemning America. Obamas Pastor condemns America in which people died! Can anyone tell me what the difference is?
Where is all of Obamas money coming from? Is it coming from the terrorists?

How many people that you know gave to Obamas campaign?
It could of only come from one place1

The way McCain is going about this is really devious. He wants us to think he''s just an average American hero. A hero he is. Average he''s not. John Kerry was at least honest about how much wealth he benefited from that belonged to his wife. It isn''t always done to sign it over to someone who isn''t from the family that made the wealth. (Their children get it) But he still benefits and shares in it. This kind of looks like the straight talk express persona is just that a persona and nothing more. ( I tried to put this on ABC-They wouldn''t print it)

Yep, if McCain is so insisting on keeping his family''''s financial matters so private, then he has no business in public office as the President of the US.

Would you have said the same about John Skerry?

OBAMA RELATIONSHIP WITH ISM and Other radical groups

canadafreepress.com/index.php/ article/2462

SEARCH the CBSNEWS BOX "Bad Company" and read the CBS opinion article. You dont want to miss it.

The question is if we want a man in the White House who will regularly give his ear to the likes of a Reverend Wright, his and Sabeel%u2019s replacement theologies, and pro-terrorist propagandists like Ali Abunimah on a regular basis? In one sense, Obama could be considered the ISM%u2019s Manchurian candidate given his wide connections to ISM activists and campaign movements such as the Wheels of Justice Tour, Joseph Carr a.k.a. Joseph Smith, Hannah Mermelstein, Anna Baltzer and others.

So McCain is just another spoiled rich kid who got shoved through the Naval Academy by his admiral daddy (just like Bushit got shoved through Yale by HIS rich daddy), then got money the old-fashioned way--he MARRIED it. Bushit got his from his daddy and biz pals.

Isn''t there a single Repug out there who actually EARNED his billions?

The Repugs are the party of the rich and privileged.

The rest of you peasants can go suck, in the Repugs view, as long as you keep that money coming for the no-bid contracts and kickbacks that fund the U.S. Fascist Party (previously aka the GOP).
